DRESBACH,S CREDITORS.
what is to be Done With the
wheat Security?

SAN Francisco, August 80 The
creditors of William Dresbach and
John Rosenfeld met this afternoon
and appointed a committee to confer
with the board OF directors of the call
board as to the best means OF dispos-
ing of the 5000 tons Of wheat held by
the creditors as security. A commit
tee was instructed to report whether
it should be sold or divided.
THE SUBJECT WELL DISCUSSED.
The amount of business in the Pro-
duce Exchange is limited at present
as the board of directors are engaged
in solving the problem of holding the
remainder of the wheat deposit made
by Dresbach & Rosenfeld for the ac-
count of members of the board free
from the demands of outside creditors.
That is the reason that the dellnquents
have not been sold out, as that step
would free them from lien of the
Board and give other creditors a
chance to step in and claim their
share of the deposit.
IT WILL SOON BE SETTLED.
1t is believed that some definite con-
clusion will soon be reached and a
settlement on the basis of wheat on
hand be made so far as it will go
round. As the losses are scattered in
many different quarters and not in
large amounts there are some
chances that the difficulty will be laid
over without involving any serious
failures.

Griffith held somewhat lively talk at
the regular meeting room. Conran,
who is still seriously i'll, was not pres
ent. 1t developed that Griffith had
aDstracted a minute book from the
secretary's desk during the month,
which. prevented the secretary from
entering the proceedings OF the meet
ing which elected Chief Engineer
Omear. Griffith refused to produce the
missing record, and Slater declared he
would not do any business unless the
book was produced.
HOW IT ENDED.
Griffith, who is president of the
board, then declared the meeting ad-
journed until next month, though
Slater objected. Slater and Conran

CANADA,S RAILROAD CONTEST.
An Editorial on the Sui bject by . e
London Standard.

LONDON, August 30.-The Standard,
referring to the Manitoba railway,
says The more clearly that the rights
of the question are understood, the
more emphatic will be the opinion
here that the Manitobans are trying to
derive unfair advantage from their
geographical position.
OPERATIONS SHOULD BE SUSPENDED.
The best prospects for settlement
lie in the direction of a compromise,
to which the preliminary ought to be
the immediate suspension of the ope-
rations on the Manitoba railway line.
No efforts should be spared to concili-
ate the Manitobans, but they must be
made to conform themselves to their
duties as British subjects and Cana
dian citizens.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Diego, August 30. 1t is under
stood that a survey will shortly be
made by st. Louis syndicate for a
new railroad from Los Angeles to San
Jacinto, and from there on southwark
crossing the headquarters of the Santa
Marguerite, passing near Oak Grove
through the Vale de San Jose and
SAINT, Isabel and on to Balena. From
the latter point the line will probably
keep to the southwark, tapping Costa
MADEIRA valley before bearing to the
westward for San Diego.
WELL SUBSIDIZED.
From Los Angeles to San Jacinto
the distance is about 100 miles and
the company will be given at least
5000 900 in subsidies from San Jacinto
to San Diego. The distance over the
route proposed will be about l5O miles
between these points. The company
will receive large fubsidies in the
shape of land.

SENATOR SHERMAN
Denies His Reported statements
on the Fishery Question.


CINcINNArI, o., August 30.-The
Comn,ercial- Gazette prints a commu-
nication from Senator Sherman max
ing a denial of the views alleged to
have been expressed by him on the
fishery question to Senator Ogilvie, OF
the Dominion Government.
WHAT HE DID SAY.
He saws: "I had a conversation
with Senator Ogilvie in the presence
of number of gentlemen, in which l
took the exactly opposite position
that while the Canadian Government
had legally sought to exclude fisher
men within the three-mile limit of
their shore, it was an act Of bad policy
to do so, and that their denial to Amer
ican fishermen of the commercial
rights to seek and buy bait and sup
plies in a Canadian port, was incon-
sistent with the civilized and generous
policy of m cdern commercial nations,
and that it should be promptly aban-
doned as the best preparation for more
intimate commercial relations between
the United States and the Dominion
Government"

Healy Creates Some Excftememt
In the House Of Com mons.


i'm the House Of Com mons.
LONDON, August 3O.-In the House
of Commons this evening, in the de-
bate on vote for the Irish Secreta-
ry's office, T. M. Healy denounced
Balfour as an ignorant Scotchman and
careless of the duties of office.
KING HARMON ATTACKED.
He made violent attack on Col.
King Harmon, the Under Secretary
and was called to order for referring
to him as convict. He also said that
King Harmon had committed 500
murders to Orangemen.
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS.
AT this point Col. King Harmon en-
tered the House and denied the allie
cations made by Healy. The debate
become SO heated that the chairman
called them both to order.
NOW FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
Mr.. Healy then resumed the attack,
and said that he blamed the Govern
ment for appointing notorious law
breaker and released convict.
